Title Rectal bleeding: the stent around the corner
Authors: G. Coppola, T. Schepis, C. Ciuffini, V. Perri, G. Costamagna, C. Spada, V. Pontecorvi
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text A 35 years-old woman was admitted to our endoscopy unit for rectal bleeding. The patient had a diagnosis of cervix adenocarcinoma treated with radiotherapy, complicated by colic perforation. An emergency Hartmann’s procedure with colic resection, rectal stump closure, and terminal colostomy was performed. The rupture of the right internal iliac artery occurred and was treated with the placement of a vascular stent. The rectoscopy revealed a foreign body in the blind end of the rectal stump. A CT scan confirmed the complete migration of the vascular stent between the rectum and a contiguous chronic pelvic collection.

Authors: K. Mönkemüller, K. M. Pawlak, T. Kröner, L. Fry, A. Martinez-Alcalá
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text 75-year-old man admitted for hematochezia and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). EGD and colonoscopy were unremarkable. Capsule endoscopy (CE) showed and ulcerated tumor located in the ileum, confirmed by retrograde deep enteroscopy with biopsies. The histopathology revealed diffuse large B – cell lymphoma. Because of ongoing massive bleeding, the patient underwent surgical resection of the mass and combined therapy R-CHOP resulted in remission of the lymphoma. This case highlights the occurrence of two conditions leading to severe anemia, a) severe obscure GI bleeding and b) hemolytic anemia. Whenever an AIHA is present the clinician must be aware of lymphomas.

Effective endoscopic sealing of a large malignant broncho-esophageal fistula (BEF) using a partially covered self-expandable metal stent (PC-SEMS)
Authors: L. Juan-Casamayor, C. Alonso Martin, R. Sánchez-Ocaña, M. Perez-Miranda
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text A 50-year-old woman, with a mediastinal lymphoma on chemotherapy presented cough and dysphagia. Upper endoscopy revealed a large BEF with a 5cm mucosal defect. CT demonstrated a fistula to the left main bronchus. Following multidisciplinary decision a 23x120-mm PC-SEMS was placed in the esophagus across the BEF, hoping that the uncovered ends would prevent migration and effectively seal reflux of GI content into the airway. CT confirmed no further leakage into the airway. Against odds, given the large BEF size, the patient continues chemotherapy and maintains oral intake 6-months after initial stenting, free of BEF symptoms, with an in-situ SEMS.

A rare case of uterine PEComa with pancreatic metastases – the role of endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy
Authors: I. Garrido, M. Pedro, M. Guilherme
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Case report: We report the case of a 54-year-old woman, without relevant past medical history, who was referred due to metrorrhagia. After a uterine myoma was identified, she underwent a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy. However, the histological examination showed a mesenchymal malignant tumor with 10cm in the uterine fundus, with features suggestive of malignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) – pT2a, FIGO stage IIA. The surgical margin had no signs of neoplastic involvement but there was venous vascular invasion. Then, the patient started adjuvant chemotherapy. Three months later, she underwent an abdominal computerized tomography scan that revealed a nodular lesion measuring 14x14mm in the body of the pancreas. Other lesions were also identified in the left lung, left kidney and left psoas muscle, as well as several mesenteric, retroperitoneal and iliac lymph nodes. A EUS was performed, which revealed two contiguous hypoechoic lesions in the pancreatic body, with 9x6mm and 12x10mm. A EUS-guided fine needle biopsy was performed (2 passes; 25G Acquire, Boston Scientific), without complications [1] [2].
Freehand endoscope exchange (FEE) during EUS-guided biliary rendezvous (EUS-RV): A new tip to avoid guidewire entanglements
Authors: L. Juan-Casamayor, S. Fernández-Prada, E. Fuentes-Valenzuela, A. Martinez-Ortega, R. Sánchez-Ocaña, C. De La Serna Higuera, M. Perez-Miranda
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text EUS-RV involves two limiting-steps: antegrade guidewire passage across the papilla and endoscope exchange, during which friction may result in guidewire dislodgment from the CBD. Periampullary diverticulum resulted in repeated cannulation failure for CBD stones. After 19G EUS-guided CBD puncture, a 0.025”guidewire was passed antegrade into duodenum. The EUS-scope was gently advanced from bulb to 2nd-portion. The distal guidewire-end was retrieved oustide the EUS-scope with a 5F-forceps. Using dual traction, a 7F-plastic stent was placed retrogradelly through the EUS-scope into the CBD across invisible papilla. The EUS-scope was removed freely, a duodenoscope introduced, plastic stent cannulated, and ERCP completed.

Authors: K. Mönkemüller, K. M. Pawlak, T. Kröner, L. Fry, A. Martinez-Alcalá
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text A 7-year-old female patient was referred to our department for double balloon enteroscopy (DBE). At age 5 she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease based on failure to thrive, iron-deficiency anemia and capsule endoscopy showing small bowel ulcers. Steroids did not result in clinical improvement. She had recurrent episodes of otitis media. After being non-responsive to azathipoprine she was sent for DBE. We found nodular lymphoid hyperplasia and aphtous ulcers in the ileum. Histology showed lack of plasma cells, NLH and increased intraepithelial lymphocytes. Serum immunoglobulins were low, confirming common variable immunodeficiency. The patient responded to the therapy with intravenous immunoglobulins.
McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome as clinical manifestation of a giant rectal adenoma treated with ESD
Authors: K. Kouladouros
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome is a rare clinical manifestation of large adenoid tumors of the rectum with an excessive loss of electrolytes leading to acute renal failure. Most of those cases reported in the literature have been treated surgically, but recent advances in the field of endoscopic resection now offer a minimally invasive alternative. Here we present the case of a 76-year old female patient with a giant rectal adenoma presenting with massive hypokalemia and acute renal failure. The 18.5x10.5cm large tumor was successfully resected en bloc using endoscopic submucosal dissection, the lateral and deep margins of the specimen were free of tumor. The 6-months follow up revealed no sign of a local recurrence.
